Hi Kris,

I have the same problem of installing full cygwin 1.5.12.1. It froze
at 93% when installing postinstall in X11 directory. The disk size
continued growing. It was 2G when I eventally decided to delete it.
Then my computer crashed.

It seems to me that you found a solution. Could you please post the solution?

My computer is windows xp home.

thanks,

-Jing

When I try to install cygwin on windows xp, the installer hangs at around 
90%, when it's running the X post install scripts. (From a full install)
